35 Weeks 2 CM Dilated

Just had my doctor's appointment today and he informed me that I was already 2 cm. dilated. Sooo, yes I'm freaking out a little bit. However, I haven't lost my mucus plug and I'm not having any frequent, strong, or long contractions. How long do you guys think I have? I hope to make it to at least 37 weeks.

You can go a while for sure! I have been dilated for weeks. Was put on bed rest at first and recently released to my normal life as they call it. You can seriously walk around for a long time. A friend of mine was a 3 for 5 weeks! And then she had to be induced! I am sure you will make it to full term. Good luck.

I hear ya! I'm 34w, 70% effaced, and almost 2 cm. I'm hoping to make it to 37w, but my midwife is preparing me for another 36w delivery (2/3 of my kids were born @ 36w exactly). I've been contracting a ton. Very hard, moderately painful, irregular, but frequent contractions for about a week and a half. Trying to take it easy to keep her in as long as possible, while at the same time I feel like there is so much to do before she comes!!!!
